The SANIMotor's electrical components are encapsulated in thermally conductive epoxy resin, allowing use at up to 40°C ambient temperature and higher temperatures with D rating.

Encapsulation optimises heat conduction within the motor, allowing totally enclosed non-ventilated operation, VSD/Inverter compatible based on a 10:1 turn down ratio for constant operation.

Output shaft sealing is achieved with a two part rotor-stator style seal, providing three sealing surfaces. Electrical termination is provided by an IP69K rated stainless steel, modular, multi-pin power connector. The gear motors can be mounted in an orientation and have high side load ratings, fully tested.

The three-phase 230V inverter-duty SANIMotor range employs Bison’s Verdant Duty design for increased energy efficiency. It is available in two frame sizes; 88.4 and 127mm, each of which is mated to seven standard gearing packages, offering fixed output speeds from 8 to 345rpm at rated torque from 0.8 to 56.5Nm.

SANIMotor features a smooth outer exterior, 304 grade stainless steel housing.
